[Ravensfort] tree parts

Ummm, not for slicing but for Go....
I love the idea of thrones but the amount of time required to dry that kind of thickness worries me.  Do we know anybody with contact with a lumber yard equipped with a drying kiln?
Could we rent time on one?

The chainsaw mill sound interesting. (read fun)
I'd like to see that in action.
 
If heard him right, Baron Brian knows someone that owns a 
mill.
I'm not sure if he has even talk to the guy yet.
Or about the moving from here to yonder and back.
I am wondering where we can stack lumber for so long to dry.
All that said, the trunks are very straight and long.  ( no comments 
thank you Devin )
They scream to have something done with such beautiful wood.
If nothing else we could protected them until we decide what to do.
4x4s to prop logs are doable.
 
Kitsune was the first to claim a chunk 24x20x6 for food slicing 
needs.
Brian has a good idea on how to extract that for her.
 
Saint David said that he will bring his uncle's tractor over tomorrow to 
help move the DT.  If I am not mistaken we will have the Ridge Top Farms 
tractor on site tomorrow as well... or was that Sunday ?
